He opined that Pakistanis are not “wholeheartedly" the enemies of Indians, suggesting that “permanent enmity" is not the solution. Bhagwat, the Sarsanghchalak of the RSS, was speaking at the 15th anniversary of India’s International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Addressing global conflicts, including the 2025 standoff between India and Pakistan, he said: “In the times of conflict, we have to go with whatever our Govt does.

The Bharatiya solution is not conquering or obliterating others, but to form that harmonious, assimilating process. That requires dialogue. So, conflicts may halt all these relations but they cannot sever, they should not." “Sometimes, after resolution of conflict we have to pick up from where we have left it and we have to continue.

So, permanent hatred and permanent enmity is not the solution. When there is some trouble, we have to look after it and there is a way to look after it. We have to be all for that way." ‘Pakistanis Not Wholeheartedly Enemies Of Indians’ Suggesting that the enmity between India and Pakistan stems from politics, the RSS chief said: “But that is a temporary thing, it comes due to politics. It is not that Pakistanis are wholeheartedly the enemies of Indians, or Indians are like that." “But states, politics, international borders are also there – that is also the fight of life. So, during conflict, we are with our Govt and our Military. But we know that sometimes, it has to cease and we have to be one. Because humanity is one", he added. India and Pakistan witnessed an intense cross-border standoff in May 2025 following ‘Operation Sindoor’ –– New Delhi’s military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people.
